For the Green Hornet, Kevin Smith is still writing, but what he is starting to back away from is directing it. (Basicly he is getting cold feet.)

In short - Kevin Smith has always done some-what lower budget films. The studio then gave him lots of money for Jersey Girl which even though a great movie, did not get very much $$ in return. So now the Movie Studio wants to give him even MORE money to do Green Hornet, and basicly he is afraid he might screw it up. So as of right now, he is writing the script, he told the movie studio he may not want to direct it, and the movie studio basicly said lets wait until the script is done and you can let us know then if you want to direct or not. (So the Studio still wants him, so we will have to wait.)

I have not heard anything new about the Fletch film.

As a side note about Jersey Girl, the DVD is also coming out early September the same day as the 3 disk special 10th anniversary Clerks DVD. The Jersey girl DVD will also have 5-6 Kevin Smith "Roadside Attraction" specials as seen on Jay Leno. BUT wait awhile, and there will be a "Special Edition" Jersey Girl DVD soon - so if you like a lot of specials, don't buy this dvd, wait for the special edition one.

PLUS they are working on "An evening with Kevin Smith 2" DVD - which the first one is a MUST for any Kevin Smith fan!

PLUS as always if you want to spend a few extra bucks, you can get autographed versions of the DVD on Kevin Smith's View Askew website. (Plus find news storied - most I read this past weekend, and now repeating in this post. :-)
